Bushmills Restaurant and Bar in Moyle

I thought this place would be amazing… unfortunately it was not only our most expensive meal on our trip it was by far the absolute worst meal on our vacation . I had the Seabass and it was not impressive at all. I spent all the next day sick with an upset stomach and countless trips to the restroom. My husband had steak, which was WAY over done…and if steak were to taste that tough and flavorless I would never have steak again. What a waste of money… so disappointing. Skip this fancy and very expensive place and hit up a local pub… you’ll have better luck!

Very delicious food, the chips are amazing. The building itself is worth a visit.

Cannot comment on the food on this occasion, as we just had drinks in the bar. Lovely atmosphere and brilliant music.

Could never do justice to this place. Staff in the barvwere amazing food was great. Definitely take the time to visit this place for a pint and some food

First come first serve tables, service was slow; 45 minutes for waiter to come to us, but i believe they were short staffed and it was quite busy. We heard there was a salmon festival the next day and alot of people came over for that so the hotel was booked tight. But after 2 hours when we got our food and beers it was delightful! Very good on allergies, they cleared dairy-free and gluten-free items we could get and they were great!

Loved the food here! Was spectacular!!! Don’t miss coming here! It won’t disappoint. If you see any bad reviews - just ignore them! This is a great place!

The Chef seems to think it is a Haute cuisine restaurant... for the cost of the the meals that sounded very nice I was so unhappy with the food 👎. But for the excellent service by the girls and guys on the floor our night would have been a disaster

We had a lovely experience here, very warm and welcoming. One of the few places with the kitchen open later.

Went here after going to Giants causeway, the food was absolutely delectable. We first went into the bar, but then realized that the food in the bar was very limited. I would recommend going into the restaurant if you want a more diverse menu. Ended up getting the sirloin, 10 ounce. Absolutely scrumptious. The bar is a bit louder, while the restaurant is very quiet, very very fancy feeling. The waiters / waitresses were always there if we needed anything, and were absolutely fantastic. I'd be more than happy to come here again, and I cannot recommend it more!

Lovely place with plenty of nooks & crannies, it's not inexpensive, but the food was lovely

Can we be more unfriendly ? I don t Think so ! They clearly do not want us to stay. We went to have a Beer, to eat and see olympic games at the pub… that was supposed to be a good night. Well… - Staff did not say hello. - Did not help us where to seat and Did not look at us at all. - After 15 minutes seating at the bar without any staff coming to us, I decided to ask for the menu… the answer was « we did not serve after 8 pm… » have a look at my watch and see it was 8:02 and we were here for more Than 15 minutes ! - I asked if they can serve the children only. Staff said no and offers us to buy them a pack of crisps !! - As the restaurant is just behind the bar, I asked if we can choose on the restaurant menu and be served in the pub (restaurant’s prices are far more expensive than the pub, of course). Answer : « no we don t do that ! « - Well, We ordered a Beer. Then we saw an empty table, I asked to a waitress if we can go. She Said yes and then one waiter came to us and asked us to leave the table because it was not Free (people where outside smoking without living anything at the table, how can we know ?). He spoke very loud, in front of every one, without Even a sorry… Me and my husband never felt so uncomfortable in a bar (where you are supposed to have good Time). We never had such the feeling of not being welcome. We left. Our worst experience in 1 month in Ireland ! We definitely would not recommend That place !

It’s hard to beat the Bushmills Inn for food at any time. This was a soup and sandwich business meeting. Excellent all round.

Nice place. You like outside. Food and drinks really good at fair prices. Nice beer garden area. Nicely decorated inside too. The staff is mostly friendly and also competent. Fish and chips really very fresh and tasty. 18pnd. Water comes to the table free of charge when you eat, which is no longer a given, thank you for that. Would eat and drink here again.

Wonderful dinner, great service, and amazing atmosphere in the pub. We tried the sticky toffee pudding as dessert, it was so good we almost cried.

We started with the squid, which was a bit disappointint as it was not cooked enough for the batter to be crispy, which made it a bit rubbery. The lamb was very good, while the steak special was a good 16oz cut of meat however didn't have much flavor. Service was average, a bit on the slow end as I had to remind them a couple times on things.

Very normal chowder, potatoes were raw. Surprisingly good haddock and expresso coffee. Very gentle service.

Nice tour through not only the distillery, but also the filling of the barrels and bottling. We did the malt tour, where at the end you also get to taste a 21 year that costs £160 per bottle.

Great place for a beer and a snack on the patio.

Great management and staff the night of our visit. It's a pretty formal place but the staff was still very friendly. Old-school fine dining food was excellent, try the bone sauce with your steak. Also enjoyed a flight of local gins which was a first for me. Outstanding experience.

We followed the recommendations of the backpacker's guide and we don't regret it! Excellent value for money. From starter to dessert, everything was delicious. This is clearly the best Restaurant we have had in Ireland. The adjoining pub is great too. I can only warmly recommend this establishment 😉

Lovely place, the food was excellent as were the cocktails! The staff were well presented, knowledgeable and friendly. Nice atmosphere, cosy pub with a lovely restaurant out back. Recommended.

I love this hotel, restaurant and the bar area. The staff are top notch, polite, and helpful. The food tastes amazing in the restaurant and the bar area and they are accommodating to your needs. They have vegetarian options that are made there. They made us feel special.

Our dog was not allowed....? We went to another Restaurant, where she was welcomed with open arms.

Terrible. Careless and disrespectful of food allergies, I have celiac disease and choose this place because it looked lovely and had healthy (and likely safe options) such as soup and curry. The server did not know the menu and gave inconsistent comments about what was gluten free. Oddly, they claimed to have GF pasta but the sauce had gluten. A vegan curry apparently had wheat. Slow service, incorrect bill and dismissive of my celiac questions. Go elsewhere

Dined here to celebrate a special birthday. The staff were warm and friendly and the restaurant is well appointed with plenty of room. The food was outstanding, with everyone in my party commenting on the quality. I would definitely recommend.

Sat 15 min and had to ask if we had a server… ordered, no apology for wait, appetizers no flavor, main courses…. Steak overcooked but a bit flavorful, chicken very dry and NO flavor…. Very disappointing

we left very dissatisfied with the size of the portions and the quality of the food. Prices are much higher and inconsistent with the quantity and quality of food. Slow service. Inside, there are very low passages and ceilings, and you can feel the strange smell of the past.

The batter haddock is the best I've ever tasted. The staff very courteous and efficient-that's to you Stuart!

Staff was accomidating, knowledgeable about dietaery restrictions and very helpful picking out options that meet the gluten free needs. The drinks were good, it was an all around great experience!

Great spot! Our driver recommended it for a stop off. Also great small town; if I go back to that area I would stay in town too. Servers were great too! Everyone was very friendly.

Nice spot after visiting the causeway, seafood tacos from the bar menu were very tasty and the two guys serving us were extremely pleasant. Giving a 5 star review although there was one downside here as we walked in to the restaurant lady there said the restaurant was fully booked. When i walked past reception 20 minutes later to use the toilet the man at reception was in conversation on the phone and said the restaurant wasn't very busy, he was taking a call for a party of 12! Also as we left an hour or so later the restaurant wasn't even busy. We had just been to the causeway so may have been a bit underdressed (i don't know). If that was the case I'd rather the lady be honest and we would have got changed. All in all a nice place for a drink and snack to end our trip to Northern Ireland.

Google said this place was dog friendly. When I got to the door I struggled to get my dog in through the doors, then was told no dogs allowed

We had lunch in the pub part. We had different dishes, all four excellent!

What an unexpected and lovely surprise for two hungry people - to be accommodated so late and then served with a fabulous meal. Kudos to the lovely staff and the warm hospitality received. Thanks so much…..that lamb and those potatoes were just beautiful. You made my day. Well worth a visit.

Lovely settings and really friendly helpful staff. Food was tasty and quick to arrive.

This is a corporate restaurant experience. Service was divided among multiple people. Mediocre food for the price. Unfortunately this is one of the few restaurant options in Bushmills and I would prefer the dish and chips shop!

I love it this place. The staff are so friendly. Good is excellent.

The food and atmosphere were amazing. The garlic mushrooms side was the best I've ever had and the prices were fair for their offerings. However, the staff treated us poorly. I understand we are "new money," but when I treat others with kindness and respect I expect to have it returned. It was a slow Monday evening and we were not out of the ordinary compared to the other guests. Our server was great, but the staff at reception and the man who showed us to our table sighed at our presence and treated us poorly. I observed him treating others this way so I expect it to be the normal course of business at this restaurant.

I got the crispy pork belly and was extremely satisfied with every bite. The pulled pork on top was some of the best I've ever had. I'll be coming back!

Another excellent meal in the Bushmills Inn. Always a good quality evening meal and breakfast.

We were recommended the Bushmills Tavern by the staff at the distillery. It was our favourite meal of our holiday. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again! .

The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff were great! The food was subpar. My Caesar salad was very wilted and my husband's pastrami sandwich had one slice of pastrami. Hopefully, that's a "one-off" situation. He has stayed there at the inn in the past and raved about it.

Outstanding restaurant, beautiful and comfy to sit in, wonderful staff and the lamb was amazing! The pub has a different menu- more affordable but the restaurant is such a special treat!

Delicious food with friendly staff.

Place really has that extra touch. Food was well prepared and super tasty. Staff were very helpful and accommodating and whisked is through to seat despite arriving earlier than planned. Eased their way through the use of a Blue book voucher for the spend.

Sehr exellentes Essen. Top Personal.

Absolutely extortionate price for what we had. Although nice, you would need a magnifying glass to see it on the plate. Wouldn't go back.

Food was outstanding. Beautifully presented and delicious. Service was disappointingly inconsistent with our table forgotten about while waiting to order dessert.

Lovely hotel & restaurant, the food & service were impeccable. I'll definitely be going back

Très bonne cuisine mais attention il s'agit d'un semi-gastro avec les tarifs et quantités qui vont avec

Nos encantó!! Es un lugar super amplio y muy encantador. Tienen un menú amplio y además un menú aparte vegetariano que me hubiera encantado saber antes de pedir mi comida, pero bueno, no pasa nada, lo que escogí, exceptuando la ensalada estaba todo buenísimo y a mi prima también le gustó su hamburguesa. Lo pongo por si eres vegetariano como yo, que sepas que tienes que pedirla (la carta o menú vegetariano). Es muy limpio y diría que tiene acceso para silla de ruedas. Muchas gracias 😊

Food is ok (margherita pizzas were fine, but the chicken supreme was very bland), service was polite, but slow and got the bill wrong 2 times. The place itself Is beautiful though.

The fish was amazing with a well seasoned sauce and a healthy serving of potatoes. The pork however when asked, I was told it came with sautéed lettuce, that wasn’t the case, it was just a lettuce leaf for it to stay on, the pork was completely unseasoned and a bit tough and the sides meager compared to the fish, I asked for red wine jus as there was no sauce and the meat was dry, after about 10 min the jus arrived which was just weak, runny broth, barely any wine or feel of meat fattiness. The desert was lovely, unnecessary addition of macha popcorn which were stale and soft. The place is great to visit as the ambience is lovely, staff were ok and smiley, didn’t really do satisfaction checks though and the floor was empty for 15-20 min upon shift change.

The food was unreal. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the rustic atmosphere. The staff was very wonderful. The lamb was 🤤🤤🤤🤤 and the butterscotch Sundae was delightful.

Didn't get to eat in.. we walked in the front door, couldn't open the double doors for the buggy, they refused, we were told to walk around the building to the other side as they they didnt want to open the locks.. we were then told to go to otherside of the restaurant with staff telling us where to sit, then to be told we couldn't, sent us to two other places no joy. Found a place to sit then to e told they wouldn't serve us food.. Staff not knowing what they were doing. Left without eating, and having to to take all the kids - family out again to find somewhere else to eat.. about 20mins wasted.

Fantastic service from Scott and the rest of the crew. Lovely food and a great courtyard dining experience.

Thank you for the beautiful and food dinner . Excellent service and very good dinner .

Restaurant excellent. Nous avons pris un petit vin sec d'Afrique du sud, l'entrée, le plat , le dessert du jour ainsi qu'un filet de haddock à la crème avec un œuf poché ( mentionné dans le lonely planet mais pas à la carte et un dessert à la rhubarbe. Service très correct, très bonne ambiance y compris au pub attenant, plats délicieux, mais personne ne parle français

Crowded and depressing place. If you hungry better get a takeaway.

it looked so good from the outside, and the other reviews were very good. My wife and I sat at a table for 30 minutes waved at the waiter as he cleared the table next to us got nothing. Then when he came back to give drinks to the other table next to us I waved again and made eye contact and he left. The third time he came back still ignored us I waved to the bartender and had eye contact and got no reply. But everyone else was having a good time.

Les plats étaient bon mais le service était particulier on nous a demander d'aller au restaurant pour manger, puis arrivé à celui ci de finalement aller au bar car la cuisine fermé a 21h alors qu'il était 19h30... Et nous devions aller au bar passer la commande des plats alors que les autres tables pouvez passer commande a leur table. Un peu bizarre le service.

Filets were great....would recommend the Champs and garlic fries! Kids spaghetti was yummy .... Service was amazing...lots of smiles!

Food was bland for the price we paid, sadly. The best dish was the Guinness and onion soup. Everything else was forgettable sadly.

Only stopped for a drink. Service was a tad slow and prices a touch high as we expected them to be. The food I saw other people eating looked great.

The seafood chowder is excellent.

Disappointment, it was this place that I had left. I have never eaten such a terrible steak anywhere. Not only that, they brought an overcooked steak when she ordered it. Also, the meat used was not high-quality, but meat that is used for long cooking. This is horror. A big minus for the cook

Enjoyed two meals here (formal dining room and bar) plus an afternoon tea. Quality food and a lovely atmosphere!

Was travelling through town to Portstewart and recommended to try this place. Arrived fine and was advised to take a seat and we would be served. Must of been at least 4-6 members of staff walking around, 5 minutes pass, no one, 10, no one 15 minutes, we asked someone to menus and if we could order food. Nothing for another 5 mins, whilst the same waitress took orders from other tables. Gave up and walked out, terrible first impression, and attitude from the last member of staff was poor. Very disappointing.

Poor service and sub par food. Burger and chips ( fries ). Burger was overcooked and the bun was stale. Worst meal in our 20+ day stay in Ireland. Service was timely, but poor. The chips were good.

This place was heaven. People were so kind, modest and polite. Food was awesome, they have live music on every Wednesday, friday & Saturday . Its not like a loud music but very soothing music. Servers, managers everyone take care of u realky well.

4.4/5 Chicken liver parfait - whipped chicken liver parfait paired perfectly with a sweet and tarte chutney topped with whiskey infused raisins. Must try imo! Thai prawn risotto - fresh prawns on a bed of Thai flavoured risotto and courgette noodles. The risotto didn’t have any particularly strong Thai flavours. Crispy pork belly - a really crispy pork belly served with a jus and some pumpkin purée. Loved the flavour of the crispy pork belly combined with the jus and purée but would’ve loved some more of the purée. The dish was topped with prawns and ribs. Pan seared catch of the day - delicious fresh fish (lemon sole for the day) pan seared and served with a side of boiled veggies.

Excellent food and service - was quite busy mid week which says it all really.

Great place for a traditional Irish meal.

While staying in Bushmills it seems the natural thing to have dinner at this establishment. You will not go wrong, wonderful food and good service.

Stopped of here today on off chance to get a bite to eat & even though it was quite busy on easter monday a staff member got 4 of us a table. The service was excellent and staff really friendly . The food was lovely and defo be back again . I defo recomend here. I do fancy a staying here for a short break to

This is for the restaurant. Too expencive, too small meals, not for one is hungry. Sit with eight persons for almost one hour without service.. not again. Pity for the Busmills name... The Bistro is oldschool classy.

A lovely pit stop here after a trip to the Giant's Causeway. We were just passing through the village on the way to Derry and thought this place looked inviting. We had a seat in the bar area, looking out of the window by the open fire. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Food was absolutely delightful and huge portions. We both had the fish and chips. Highly recommend.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit Sitzmöglichkeiten drinnen und draußen. Wir waren zum Mittagessen dort und können das Mediterrane Chiabatta Sandwich nur empfehlen. Neben den Sandwiches gab es auch einige andere Hauptgerichte. Die Dessertkarte war ebenfalls sehr groß. Auch die Scholoaden-Kokos-Tarte ist sehr zu empfehlen!

Great lunch with daily specials....and big portions. There is a kids menu with a variety of choices for any picky eaters.

Best Toffee desert ever! Not too sweet, and yet very flavorful! Couldn’t stop eating and hard to share!

Sunday carvery - great food and drink. Portion sizes excellent! Service a bit slow but nice atmosphere and we weren't in a rush. 9/10!

Amazing afternoon tea. Staff bent over backwards,to offer extra tea, coffee and hot water for the 4 in our group .The open fire was fantastic to sit and relax by after our meal .It was a birthday treat & memorable .

We would give 10 out of 5 for the service provided. So professional, so friendly, feels like in a 5 star restaurant in London that you would not expect to see in such a small town. The waiters, bar tender know what they do and how to do it at its best. Really impressed. About the kitchen. The guiness soup is so delicious you cannot stop enjoying! The ox cheeks, loin of venison, crispy pork - the chef is brilliant! Everything is so tasty. We would definitely recommend to come here and try it for yourselves.

Pleasant establishment and good service. I thought the menu was limited.

I spent about 2 weeks in Ireland and honestly these were the best fish and chips I had. The stew was tasted great and was very hearty, and the honeycomb ice cream in the sundae was so creamy and delicious. If I’m back in this area, I’ll 100% be stopping again and recommending it to everyone.

Very pleasant experience! The wait staff, especially the sweet blonde, mama of 3 from Coleraine, was so attentive! The steak and butternut squash cannenoli were delicious. The desserts( pictured: lemon parfait)were creative & treats for the palate!

Have been there twice during our stay in bushmills. Nice atmosphere and very kind staff. Good variety of food choices and great taste.

Amazing meal with my 2 young and scruffy SEN kids - well looked after and the food was amazing!! Both kids were blown away by the food and the waitresses were very understanding of their needs and requirements - everything we had was delicious!!

Beautiful quiet restaurant with amazing wait staff who are very pleasant. This restaurant can hold large groups or smaller parties. The quality of the food is very good and the menu is decent sized. The Irish Stew could use a little more salt but other than that, the food is fantastic. The fired chicken wings are also delicious! Further, if you are a dessert person, definitely get the salted caramel ice cream. Highly recommend.

I went there few weeks ago with my friends, because reading some reviews online and some guides, this place was said to be moderately cheap and with good food. Not entirely true I must say. We all ordered different things, so we tried different courses. I must say, the presentation of each plate was impeccable. All looked good and placed in the right place. It was extremely good looking. About the taste, lamb was really good, crusty on the outside and juicy and soft on the inside. Not the same for pork and chicken. In the pork course there were different thinks, all cooked differently, in order to try it in different versions I guess. But probably we would prefer something more. The chicken was quite standard, while the sauces served with the meat, were quite special. The vegetarian course was sad. The taste good, but I think that it's quite impossible to cook couliflower wrong. The desserts were good, but nothing special. I have to say, the apearence of each plate was way too good with respect to the actual food. But for this reason and for the impeccable service, I must give them a good review, even if not the maximum. The look and feel of the place is like a inn, but they behave like a gourmet place. And the prices are extremely high conpared to the actual food they serve. This makes the all experience good, but left us unhappy and someone still hungry.

Lovely place with friendly staff and amazing food everything was awsome highly recommend.

This restaurant is no longer in business. We wasted 15 minutes trying to find it.

The best meat meal I've ever had was here!

What a unique restaurant! Lots of cool places and rooms to sit in. The food was outstanding. A smaller portion of Irish stew than most pubs I had whilst in Ireland but it was real tasty. The service was a treat as well!

Amazing beef cheek, so tender. The rest of the dishes were good too. Service was OK

I have been to Bushmills three times now. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy, but it is the food that draws me back again and again. Their steak literally melts in your mouth like butter, the whiskey gravy should be put in baby bottles, and their sticky toffee putting is literally the best in the world (and yes, I am a connoisseur of the sticky)! The rooms I’ve stayed in could use some minor facelift, but the were very clean and comfortable. I am returning to Bushmills with my best friend In October of this year and I cannot wait to share this magical place with her. P.S. I asked if I could have their recipe for sticky toffee pudding and they willingly supplied it. I still, have it laminated in my cookbook.

Excellent food & service. Charming castle. A must visit for a special occasion. 5* & 1 Michelin *

Great dinner but amazing dessert. Staff was very nice and they accommodated us for a reservation with only an hour notice.

Ordered Breast of Duck. £19.75. Ripoff. They brought out a lump of duck. She was shocked when I asked where was the rest? Surely some vegetables and spuds? I might aswell of been out in a field eating like a caveman. Very snobby staff aswell. We went down the road to the chipper after as the duck wouldn't fill the gaps in your teeth.
